Maybe at first, but by the time of The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society? Not so much. More like a less self-consciously psychedelic Beatles.

True, I was thinking of their early stuff with that comment. (Weirdly, "All Day and All of the Night" came on the radio just a minute ago.)

The thing I love about The Kinks as that, while The Beatles were going on about walruses and strawberries, they were singing about everyday life and making it just as interesting. IMO their later stuff paved the way for bands like The Smiths.
